Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff talks to Rich Eisen about Mike Vick

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff was a call-in guest on the Rich Eisen Show earlier this week.

Dimitroff gave his opinion on a number of topics, including Dontari Poe’s weight goals and Devonta Freeman’s contract situation. He also spoke to Eisen about the team’s somewhat controversial decision to hold a special retirement ceremony for former quarterback Michael Vick and wide receiver Roddy White recently.

Time heals, right? And Arthur’s obviously a very classy gentleman, he’s a very soulful guy. . . he feels very strongly about doing what he did and what we did as an organization. . . I realize that there’s a real bond there.

When Eisen asked if the franchise has plans for Vick in the future, Dimitroff said he was not sure, suggesting Blank’s other business ventures may be an obstacle to any sustained official role for Vick.
